I agree with everyone, the ML is a harassing stalker that frequently kidnaps, physically manhandles, and basically assaults the FL. There is no romance, it’s a gradual and depressing wear down of the FL as everyone from her harasser to her own classmates force her to be with the ML. Listen, she switches majors, leaves the city, and makes it crystal clear to everyone that she doesn’t want anything to do with him... and we’re supposed to think it’s “cute” that he wins her?

Also, the moment where she starts changing her mind is so damn unrealistic and s*upid. It’s so forced in there and OOC for her. She basically is like “oh I was prejudiced against him from my past life, what has he done to me now?” And as a reader you are like- how about the stalking and constant harassing he’s been doing relentlessly??? Like girl you had to completely uproot your life to get away from him and you’re wondering if you’re being unfair to him??? Would have been so satisfying if she really had just stayed single and worked on her career like she clearly wanted.

ML never truly loves FP (Sheng Wenyang) before. He only feels good about her and like her independence and intelligent. He feels pissed that FP took his feeling for granted and flies off to abroad without any words. ML only accept FP in books as he didnt feels good with blind date his family arranged. In the middle story, MC transmigrate and ML truly falls hard for her. MC once said that even in book, ML never pursue FP like that.

MC accept ML as she realised that she is her own person and not the character in book as ML is also a person.

because the FL already read the whole book where she transmigrated and she knew that being in contact with the male protagonist will lead to death flags for her and to her family

1. the author of the novel also transmigrated in the novel and became the main antagonist, 2. The FL went back to her own world but she really loved the ML so she tried to look for the book and find out what happened after she delivered her baby and 3. She successfully went back to the novel world and reunited with the ML

Though after a few—almost a hundred— chapters, ML did start lowering his ego, albeit still remaining pushy, in order to pursue the FL. (Imo, it's considered as harassment but with the way the FL is, in order for the story to keep rolling, I understand that it's the only way to keep himself attached to her) I actually appreciate his act of lowering his ego a bit because it means he's actually got a bit of brain to think things through. Though, thats the only thing I appreciate about him. Unlike the FL.

FL, —SIIIIIIGGGHHH—, she's good in all aspects, personality-wise. Except when it comes to ML. She becomes d*mb as a chicken. Somewhere around c90-100 she finally realises that things doesn't seem to be the same as the book. But as a d*mb chicken she was, who the f*ck cares right? The title's to avoid the protagonist so she should do just that, and she did. At c112/113 she has another realisation, that she has been badly prejudiced against the ML because of the book from her past life. But she decides she doesn't want to think of it and sets it aside :)

The transmigrated girl, Xin Xinyue is a levelheaded character and independent on her own. What she didn't expect was that ML, Chen Sinan truly falls in love with her. While she so desperately avoids him, he keeps tabs on her and even already planned their future together by designing a house for them both lol. So sweet! Even the former FL and another antagonist character can't come between them. The last arc's plot twist is so unexpected it's actually very heart-wrenching and tissue-inducing :')

Considering how he manhandled the MC and always bothered her, you'd think the author finds this creepy behavior acceptable. Sinan has kidnapped her, kissed her, threatened her, thrown her aside, sta lked her, etc. He's tr*sh, and I don't think he deserves to be ML. Nevermind the fact that he has the original FL, Sheng Wenyang, in an ambiguous relationship with him because he's allergic to clarifying anything.

The story started out promising and I like the FL... but not a fan of the shameless ML that constantly takes advantage of FL.

I know it's a common trope and it's usually tolerable if its just something small, not a recurring theme and FL actually kind of likes ML. However, FL clearly doesn't like ML and has been trying to run away for a long time.

Its not necessarily wrong for a guy to try to become closer with a girl even if she doesn't like him. However, ML should at least respect FL when she says no to him and not be so forceful. It could have still been a great story if ML tried to win over the FL in the right way.

I wish FL would tell her parents or file a restraining order, even though the novel is trying to make it seem romantic ML is literally harassing, threatening and kidnapping her. In the novel its written as if its no big deal (and fortunately there is no r*pe yet, as of c107, unlike many others) but thinking realistically if it was real life ML would be annoying and disgusting. The FL has better options.

It's disappointing because the novel is nice otherwise. Others who are not as sensitive to this trope may enjoy this novel.
